Bailyn, Lotte

Lotte Bailyn is a Professor of Management (in the Organization Studies Group) at MIT’s Sloan School of Management and T Wilson (1953) Professor of Management, emerita. In her work she has set out the hypothesis that by challenging the assumptions in which current work practices are embedded, it is possible to meet the goals of both business productivity and employees’ family and community concerns, and to do so in ways that are equitable for men and women. She is the author, among other work, of Breaking the Mold: Women, Men, and Time in the New Corporate World (Free Press, 1993) and its new and revised edition Breaking the Mold: Redesigning Work for Productive and Satisfying Lives (Cornell, 2006), as well as co-author of Beyond Work-Family Balance: Advancing Gender Equity and Workplace Performance (Jossey-Bass, 2002).
